hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.

yes, i heard the "tea" with james charles and a few other beauty gurus. i believe charles is in the wrong and i believe tati the most. tati didn't lie about james charles but may have exaggerated because he never sexually assaulted anyone. jeffery star is a really good friend to all and out anyone that needs it, until you mess with one of his "sisters"! james will never rise over jeffery or tati, he's way to sensitive and dramatic to rise about them. i think all three of them will make up and be friends again because they always get over it.

i hope this with your
